The path curves around, and you can see more glowing rocks ahead of you. But also, you suddenly hear a noise—like... ripping? Grinding? It's faint, but it echoes through the cave, so it's hard to determine where it's coming from.
[ She does in fact dive out of the way. She might not know how Pokemon really works, but she does know to not just stand there and let herself get (potentially) squashed. ]
Ferroseed is Grass and Steel type. It resists Electric and Fairy, so it might be a better idea to use Drilbur for this one—even if Drilbur is weak to Grass.
[ So it's basically like a Berserker fight, huh... well, that's fine. She's got some experience with that, at least. It's time to let Drilbur out and hope it's not too mad at her for the previous circumstances. Bulbapedia tells me its Ability means it will either get to go faster or it will hit harder, so let's see what happens.
Obviously you get the most points for using Earthquake in Ingo's palace. Obviously.
Not only does Drilbur wipe the floor with this Ferroseed, and not only is Ferroseed able to be captured, but also Drilbur has gained a level! He has a permanent +1 now.
When you continue down the path you pass another large blue rock. You can see two of the floating rocks up ahead, blocking your way. You could squeeze past the first one to push it, but you can't really access the second one without pushing the first.
Dedenne is also very tiny, at least, and can creep under enough to point out that the second rock should be pushed forward down the path! She can see the matching rock in the distance!
You can continue down some stairs, and further down a path. You pass another floating rock, but it doesn't actually seem to be blocking your path. You can just walk past it if you want.
[ Normally she would. Normally, because she's usually accompanied by at least one person who is willing to be the careful one where Ritsuka frequently is not.
It wobbles; it could be pushed forward like the rest. But more immediately, the wobbling of the rock dislodges a Joltik, who is angry at the disturbance!
It's still foggy, but you can see that the cave starts to open up into a chasm—lower levels of the cave are exposed to you. The path you are walking on is a strip of rock stretching out to a peak over this chasm. But there's a bridge spanning it.

[ She does not kick this one, at least. Dedenne please be proud of her,
But she does take a step back automatically to give herself the space to scan the thing. She knows about type advantages, just, not Pokemon types, ]

[ Ritsuka is one of those people who does not nickname her Pokemon,
but she does give Drilbur a little pat on the head. Good job, buddy. ]

[ Isn't Rock Smash a thing?? why does it only work for certain designated rocks!
But she is going to do her best to squeeze past that first rock to give it a little shove. Good thing she's little. ]

[ Well I guess it is time for Drilbur. She still pets Dedenne a lot to show she still likes her too.

What the heck! We're doing okay now?!

The path branches to the left and right from here. Left goes up some stairs, and right seems to open up—is it draftier over there...?
no subject
Mmmm...
[ She does want to know where the stairs go, but if she does, will she come back here? Unlikely. She's going to check the right fork first. ]

You think maybe there's someone on the bridge...
